Motos and Friends is brought to you by the Yamaha R7, your gateway to a new generation of supersport machine. In our first segment, Editor Don Williams rides the new Suzuki GSX-8S. This highly anticipated upright-naked sportbike features the all-new parallel twin from the big S, and we have been very excited to try it out. Don really liked the motor in Suzuki's new V-Strom, so it'll be interesting to see if it is perhaps even better suited to a street bike. The big question of course, is who exactly is the target rider for the 8S? Speaking of sportbikes, the Isle of Man TT is arguably the most fearsome, intense—as well as the longest—motorcycle race in the world. The Superbike races are around 225 Miles and 1200 corners, including 2 full pit stops! It takes a very special level of skill, courage, and yes, a large dollop of insanity too, to ride in, let alone win, a TT race. The TT is always the first week in June, so it's on right now—see the links below. Just in time for this year's event, I chat with my Aussie friend, Rennie Scaysbrook. Rennie is the Road Test Editor for Cycle News magazine here in the US. As a fellow journalist, he and I have tested motorcycles at tracks all over the world; he's a great guy, a good laugh. He holds the record for the challenging Pikes Peak Hill Climb, so as you might imagine, he's an especially talented rider too. Rennie rode the IOM TT last year in the Supersport category and acquitted himself well, despite some technical gremlins. He's riding again this year for the Craig Wilson team, but this time he's on a Superstock-class Honda Fireblade CBR1000RR-SP. Now that's a whole different ballgame! Rennie's descriptions of riding the sections around the famed TT course are absolutely electrifying. Do you think you've got the mental fortitude, concentration, and level of skill that it takes to thread the TT needle on country roads through tiny villages at 195 miles per hour? Rennie's take on riding the TT will likely answer that for you. This chat is a doozy—so hold on to your hat for this one.

Our guest for Episode 35 of the Rider Magazine Insider Podcast is Rennie Scaysbrook. Rennie is one of the hardest working motorcycle journalists in the business. He's Road Test Editor at Cycle News, which cranks out a new issue every week. Rennie travels the world testing motorcycles, and he writes race coverage, news, and features for the magazine. Rennie is also a motorcycle racer who has competed several times in the Pikes Peak International Hillclimb, where he set the motorcycle record in 2019. Rennie competes in several race series. He campaigns a Pirelli-sponsored Suzuki GSX-R600 in the Chuckwalla Valley Motorcycle Association series. He races the Roland Sands Design Indian Chief in the Super Hooligan National Championship series. And in June he'll get his first opportunity to race in the prestigious Isle of Man TT. If that weren't enough, Rennie is a husband and a father, and his son Harvey was the inspiration for him to write and publish a children's book called “The Big Book of Motorbikes,” which is available through Amazon. Rennie and I had fun recording this episode after riding more than 300 miles at the Suzuki GSX-S1000GT+ press launch and having a few drinks at dinner. We have an unfiltered, uncensored conversation about Rennie growing up in a prominent racing family in Australia, how he became a motojournalist, and what prompted him to move to America. We also take a deep dive into his experiences racing motorcycles at Pikes Peak – the good, the bad, and the ugly – as well as his preparations for the 2022 Isle of Man TT.
Our special guest for show #037 of Torque and Chatter is motorcycle content producer and racer, Rennie Scaysbrook. Scaysbrook is a name that has been an integral part of the motorcycling community for decades. For Rennie, he was born into a family that not only had a passion for bikes, they also loved to write about them. In this show we speak about Rennie's early journalism career, and his current role as the Road Test Editor for Cycle News in the USA. We discuss the journey of how he became the motorcycle record holder for the famed Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and his aspirations to compete in the TT. Being able to chat with Rennie is like catching up with a mate you've known forever. One that the Motorcycle Industry is very lucky to have. Sit back and enjoy the ride. *Sorry in advance for the audio quality on this one. We had a storm pass over that sent a frequency through the microphone that we could not cut out.

SIGN O’ THE TIMES - PART TWOSerendipity can strike with serendipity. Sometimes it occurs in music when the right album comes along at the right time and affects the industry as a whole with both high sales and critical praise. And then again, it can also occur in other industries, sometimes with deleterious effects. Take today's energy crisis for instance. With gasoline roller-coasting around $4 a gallon, automotive manufacturers have suddenly seen the Truck market "tank" this summer. So the OEMs have circled the SUVs so to speak, and have reforged the truck future.But as we're waiting for that future to take form, new product continues to hit dealer lots around the country. Trucks, SUVs and Crossovers of all types have been released in 2008. On this week's Autoline, John McElroy looks at some of these new vehicles like Ford's "Back to the Future" Flex Crossover, Mercedes’ new GL with its Clean Diesel technology, and Chrysler's Two-Mode Hybrid SUVs to see how they stack up when it comes to perhaps winning some "Best Of" awards later this year.Joining John to talk trucks are two of his fellow judges from the North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards. Natalie Neff is the Road Test Editor for AutoWeek while Mark Phelan is an automotive columnist with the Detroit Free Press.And if you don't want to wait until Sunday, remember you can now watch this new episode of Autoline immediately by visiting us at http://www.autolinedetroit.tv/ . There you can also view our Internet-only Autoline EXTRA segment as well as any of our archived shows.So if you're looking for a sign of times in the truck world, don't miss this week's Autoline for the best insight around.

SIGN O' THE TIMES - PART 1It's been twenty years since the musician Prince released what many call his greatest work. "Sign O' The Times" debuted in the shadow of the market collapse of 1987 and the presidential election of 1988, two major events that shaped America over the next few years.In an eerie irony, the title of this album couldn't be more relevant today. 2008 has had its own tumult. With our own presidential election in full swing and an energy crisis that's never been more serious, the sign of "these" times is about change...especially when it comes to the auto industry. $4 a gallon gasoline has given consumers a new fever for small cars. That's why this is the perfect time to look at some of the lineup that has been released so far this year. From small and economical like the Honda Fit to the performance-based cars like the BMW 1 series to Ford's new luxury sedan the Lincoln MKS, it's Cars and NACTOY on this week's Autoline. John McElroy is joined by two of his fellow judges from the North American Car and Truck of the Year Awards as they examine the best in cars so far this year.
